"How To Live"

Today's poem from the Writer's Almanac is "How to Live" by Charles Harper Webb. Despite its apparent pretension, the poem actually gives pretty good advice, sort of like Kurt Vonnegut's famous (and apparently apocryphal) commencement speech in 1997.

I wanted to highlight a couple of lines from the poem, but I couldn't find one or two to choose. It kind of has to hang together.
